Guys...please consider FormulaCar Magazine in your discussions on this subject. If we can do anything, just drop me a line. I'm all for helping to cover a Challenge-style Regional program like the FFords EWC and would devote some editorial space to it.
I know that the guys in the Central and Great Lakes Divisions and looking to organize a formula car restricted Regional in 2007...F500 needs to be there with 20 cars.
